Days after Gov. Andrew Cuomo talked about his vision for New York moving forward, local educators are still shaking their heads over what he didn't say.

For all the time he spent in his State of the State message insisting that New York's children need the best teachers, the most up-to-date technology and the highest standards, he never mentioned the Common Core nor the firestorm in education circles and complaints at kitchen tables about the speed of its implementation or sharing specific data on individual children with a third-party databank.
